Chapter 6-N.E.W.T.S

"Good Afternoon class" McGonagall said transforming to human form.

"Good Afternoon professor McGonagall" the class said.

"Well this is the last year of transfiguration for all of you" McGonagall said looking around at the class.

"Wonder if we're going to that advance transfiguration stuff Monine did last year" Ron whispered.

"You are correct Mr. Weasly, you will be dealing with more complex animals, reptiles mostly" McGonagall said as she motioned Alana, and Hermonine to enter the classroom.

"What are they doing here?" Seamus asked.

"Ms. Granger and Ms.Deerr have mastered transfiguration. They will teach the class once a month, with me observing of course" McGonagall said.

Alana smiled at Harry and looked back at her professor.

"That's done, now let me talk about N.E.W.T.S since we decided not to address it at the welcoming feast" she started to say.

"No" Neville whispered as a few students snickered.

"Since all of you chosen to take this course you are expected to take the final exam. The grades you get on N.E.W.T.S are very important in your future careers. For future Aurors or any wizard or witch who wants to work in the law enforcement department, you need a minimum of five N.E.W.T.S. Aurors, in January you will receive a series of character and aptitude tests. For future healers, nurses, and mediwizards you will also need five N.E.W.T.S you need at least and E at Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark arts. For Curse breakers, an E in defense against the dark arts, Arithmancy and charms" McGonagall began to say.

"I'll do that one only have to pass three" Seamus said.

"Thank you Mr. Finnegan, finally Muggle relations you will need an E in muggle studies and transfiguration" McGonagall finished.

Harry noticed Ron writing what Professor McGonagall said to the class.

"That's the career I want to get into mate, like dad," Ron said happily.

"Auror's please fill these out," McGonagall said holding rolls of parchment.

Harry noticed Alana and Hermonine joining the line. He followed them.

"I guess we're going to be dark wizard catchers' Hermonine joked.

"I can't see myself doing anything else" Alana said seriously as Harry nodded.

"How did you enjoy your internship at St.Mungo's Neville?" McGonagall asked.

"Very much professor, I already signed up, I want to be a healer," Neville said. "Maybe one day I can cure my parents' He said.

"Ahh!" Hermonine screamed as a rat bit her ankle.

"Are you ok?" Alana asked looking at the cut.

"Where did it come from?" Ron said holding Hermonine.

"That's a good question, he's not mine" McGonagall said trapping the animal.

"Let me look at it" Neville said looking at Hermonine's ankle.

"A rat bite, she made need bezoar, just in case the rat was poisonous" Neville said.

"Take her to Pomfrey Weasley, Longbottom go with them" McGonagall said looking at the animal.

"Yes my sweet thank you for letting me use your sibling, and she drank that potion all the way up" Faith said kissing the dirty rat in the great hall. She watched as Hermonine and Ron walked to the Hospital wing.

"That was supposed to attack Deerr" Faith snarled as Brian watched.

"That goodness for Dr. Longbottom" Alana said surprised.

"Did you see the way McGonagall looked at that rat, it wasn't hers. None of her animals do that," Harry said.

"You think someone put it in there" Alana asked.

"That would be dangerous it could of hurt somebody" she added as she watched her boyfriend.

"It was Faith" Harry said angrily.

"She did come into the train holding two rats," Alana said.

"You need to stay as far away from her Alana" Harry said.

"Harry I'll keep my guard up but I'm not going to hide from that nut," Alana said.

"What if that wasn't meant for Hermonine" Harry said looking at Alana's shoes.

"What?" Alana asked.

"You and Hermonine have the same shoes" Harry said.

"So?" Alana said.

"What if that rat was trying to bite you but bit Hermonine instead," Harry said.

"Harry, that's a little paranoid. Don't think about it, Hermonine is going to be fine," Alana said touching his hand.

Chapter 7-Private Lessons

"Ms. Kurth you're late, 50 chins ups please" Little said.

Lynn cursed and walked to the side.

"Where's the new student professor Little" Alana asked not noticing the dwarf in the room.

"You're related to professor Binns" Lynn said looking at her.

"Lynn" Alana said almost in disgust.

"No" the dwarf said rolling her eyes.

"It was a joke, princess" Lynn said finishing.

"Ladies let me introduce you to Kara" Little said. Kara was 3'1 and had long brown hair.

"What can you do" Lynn said.

"Use a sword, I mean that's a little more stronger than a bow and arrow" Kara said.

"You want to see" Lynn said as Alana held her back.

"My mom taught me about girls like you, rich and arrogant. Thank god Alana our not really related to that" Kara said.

"My grandmother told me that a the only good dwarf is the one's that counted our money. Go back to gringotts" Lynn said.

"Ladies!" Little roared.

"The dark lord is ordering verici attacks on towns and your arguing over this!" Little yelled.

"The both of you give me 50 push ups right now. Alana let's do a little warm up" Little said taking out his sword.

Alana took out the sword given to her last Christmas.

"Your not using your sword" Little said pointing to Gryffindor's sword.

"I feel more comfortable with this one" Alana said.

"Use Gryffindor's sword Alana" Little said annoyed.

Alana sighed and unsheathed the sword, they started to parry.

"Experillamus" Little yelled holding his wand with his right hand.

Alana blocked the spell with the sword. Lynn and Kara stopped exercising.

"How did you do that" Kara asked.

"I just knew that it can do that' Alana said looking at the sword.

"Only the heir can do that, that's yours it's your blood's Alana don't deny it. I talked to Dumbledore and he has agreed, that sword should be in your possession" Little said.

"Watch out" Lynn yelled. The statue behind Alana started to tumble, Little pushed her out of the way.

"Thank you" Alana said, thinking about Harry's words.

"Someone cracked this" Little said angrily looking at the bottom of the statue.

Harry, Ron and Brian ran into the defense room looking at the damage.

"It almost hit Alana" Lynn said. Harry looked at his girlfriend.

"Are you alright" Harry asked.

"Yea just a bit shook" Alana said.

"Who would do this" Little said as Alana took Harry's hand tighter.
